It seems that Alec Baldwin knows something that has never been revealed about the tragic shooting that occurred on the set of Oxide three years ago, and says he is preparing to “expose what really happened.”
While the case was dismissed in July, Baldwin told fellow actor David Duchovny that “there is more to come” about what happened that fateful day in October 2021.
“I think there’s more to come,” Baldwin told Duchovny during the former’s December 16 episode. X-Files star Fail better podcast. “There is more to come, but the most to come is now my effort, and it will no doubt be a successful effort, to raise and expose what really happened. He was fighting back. I was defensive. They were accusing me. “They were accusing me.”
In October, a New Mexico judge upheld his decision to dismiss a manslaughter charge against Baldwin in the shooting death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of the independent Western.
At the time, Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer said prosecutors did not raise any factual or legal arguments that justified overturning her decision.

Baldwin, lead actor and co-producer of Oxidewas pointing a prop gun at Hutchins during a rehearsal on a movie set when the revolver went off, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.
Baldwin claimed he never pulled the trigger that day. Soon, Oxide Gunsmith Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, despite her not guilty plea, was charged with tampering with evidence and sentenced to 18 months behind bars.
On the podcast, Baldwin said he feels the mainstream media “suppressed every story” that could have helped exonerate him and “amplified every story” that sought to smear him.
Because he was never granted a full trial after his case was dismissed, Baldwin says “there is a lot about this case that is not known.”
He added: “These last three years, people have just gone out to dinner. Because in this country, when people hate you on that level, they want three things. They want you to die. The second thing is that they want you to go to prison… These political crowds… love to see their enemies imprisoned for years because prison is like hell. And the third thing is that they want to cancel you, which is like being in prison or being dead, because you wander the earth and… you are invisible.”
And despite his “cancellation” over the shooting, Baldwin said he is optimistic that the situation is changing in his favor.
“I think from the communications I’ve had lately, things are getting back to the way I work, and I’m happy about that because I have seven kids,” she told Duchovny.
